Return To Coffee FAQ Archive   How do I make the perfect coffee? Answered By Editor Not all pots of coffee are created equal. Fortunately, I'm willing to share my most important tips for making the perfect coffee. Did you know there are over 1,000 flavonoids in a coffee bean? If you've ever wondered why you love coffee so much, there's your answer. So, the first tip is to start with the freshest beans you can find -- at the very most two weeks old. Grind only what you need. Once you grind the beans, it releases the oils from the beans which contain most of the flavor. It is those oils that will give you the best flavor for your freshly brewed pot of coffee. Start with cold water, and use 2 tablespoons of freshly ground coffee for every 6 ounces of water (or 3/4 cup) in your filter. Then adjust to your liking. Make sure you use a clean pot. Mineral deposits from hard water add to the bitterness. Use white vinegar and water to clean your pot once a month or so, depending on the quality of your water. It helps to heat up and run a cycle of water only through your pot after using the vinegar. Enjoy your perfect pot of coffee! keywords: Coffee | Good Coffee | How To Make Coffee | Fresh Coffee Beans | Grinding Coffee Beans | Freshly Brewed Coffee | Freshly Ground Coffee | Coffee Pots | Coffee Makers Mocha Espresso Mocha Latte Espresso Machines Pod Espresso Machines
